Definitions
- the invention relates to methods for producing a temperature sensor
- temperature sensors there are a large number of technical applications, for example in the automotive industry, power plant technology, heating technology or building technology.
- the temperature sensors must detect temperatures well below freezing as well as high temperatures of over 1000 ° C.
- sensor elements usually electronic sensor elements, such as NTC's or PTC's are used. These electronic sensor elements are relatively sensitive to external influences, such as chemically reactive gases or mechanical impulses. Therefore, the temperature sensor elements are usually encapsulated and thus protected from external influences. However, the encapsulation causes a delayed transition of the temperature to be measured on the sensor element. Therefore, it is customary to fill the space between the electronic sensor element and, for example, a protective cap arranged above it with a material that is highly thermally conductive. For this purpose, ceramic powders are often used, which are filled into the protective cap and form a powdery thermally highly conductive intermediate layer. The introduction of such powders in the protective cap of a temperature sensor proves to be a relatively difficult process, in which it can lead to gaseous inclusions, which counteract a good thermal conductivity.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for producing a temperature sensor, in which a good thermal connection between the sensor element and the medium to be measured is produced inexpensively and with little effort.
- the shaped body is sintered from the mineral powder, after the shaping of the mineral powder by pressing the mineral powder with a stamp. This has the advantage that the sintered body from the mineral powder is completely inherently stable and can be easily coated with the protective cap.
- the sintered body of the mineral powder it is also conceivable on the sintered body of the mineral powder to produce a protective cap by spraying or evaporating a corresponding material.
- a temperature-resistant paint or plastic can be sprayed onto the sintered body of the mineral powder or a metal can be vapor-deposited on this body.
- the sprayed or vaporized material should advantageously cover the sintered body of the mineral powder and partially the base element.
- the pressing of the protective cap to the mineral powder is carried out at a higher pressure than the pressing of the mineral powder with the stamp. In this way, even when pressing the cap to the mineral powder, any existing gas inclusions can be eliminated and the mineral powder can be completely adapted to the shape of the cap, with any material tolerances are automatically compensated
- FIG. 1 shows a temperature sensor element 1, which is arranged on a base member 7.
- the temperature sensor element 1 is connected to connection wires 2, which establish an electrical connection to the following electronic components through the base element 7.
- FIG. 1 the temperature measuring element 1 is shown arranged on the base element 7 in a shaping tool 5.
- mineral powder 3 is filled until the temperature measuring element 1 is completely covered by the mineral powder 3.
- the shaping of the mineral powder 3 by pressing the mineral powder 3 is carried out with a punch 4, wherein the mineral powder 3 is solidified.
- the stamp 4 With the stamp 4, the mineral powder 3 all desired shapes can be pressed.
- An average particle size of the particles in the mineral powder is, for example, between 10 and 500 nanometers, whereby there is a sliding movement between the individual particles of the mineral powder during the pressing, through which the particles of the mineral powder densify enormously as a result of changes of place, whereby a compact arises, which retains its shape even after the removal of the punch 4 and the forming tool 5.
- FIG. 3 the temperature sensor is shown after removal from the forming tool 5.
- a protective cap 8 is pulled over the body of solidified mineral powder 3 .
- This protective cap 8 may be made of metal, for example.
- the connection of the protective cap 8 with the base element 7 takes place, for example, by welding, gluing, caulking or screwing.
- the protective cap 8 again exerts pressure on the already solidified body of mineral powder 3, whereby again the displacement of the individual particles of the mineral powder 3 occurs, and thus the shaped body fits perfectly to the shape of the protective cap 8 is adjusted. Air pockets between the temperature sensor element 1 and the protective cap 8 are thus completely excluded, whereby an excellent thermal connection between the temperature sensor element 1 and the medium to be measured is produced.
- the base member 7 When pressing the solidified mineral powder 3 to the protective cap 8, the base member 7 is held by a holding tool 6. After the protective cap 8 has been pressed onto the solidified mineral powder 3, the temperature sensor 9 is removed from the holding tool 6 and the protective cap 8 is connected to the base element by welding, gluing, caulking or screwing, which is indicated by the arrows in FIG FIG. 4 is shown.
- FIG. 4 shows the temperature sensor 9 produced by the method according to the invention in addition to the pressing of the mineral powder 3 by the punch 4 and subsequently by the protective cap 8, it is also possible to sinter the shaped body of mineral powder 3, whereby a further solidification of the shaped body 10 is achieved .
- the mineral powder mass is first preformed so that at least a minimum cohesion of the powder particles is given.
- the pre-pressed green compact is then compacted by heat treatment below the melting temperature of the mineral powder and cured.
- the porosity and the volume of the green compact decreases significantly, making it necessary to sinter the molded body 10 before the protective cap 8 is placed on the molded body 10.
- the finished molded body is pressed into the protective cap 8 under high pressure after sintering. This ensures that even after the sintering of the molded body 10, an air-entrapment-free region of mineral powder is formed between the temperature sensor element 1 and the protective cap 8.
- the sintered shaped body 10 made of the mineral powder may have a protective cap 8 by spraying or evaporating a corresponding material to produce.
- a temperature-resistant paint or plastic can be sprayed onto the sintered shaped body 10 of the mineral powder or a metal can be vapor-deposited on this body.
- the sprayed or vaporized material should thereby advantageously cover the sintered shaped body 10 made of the mineral powder and at least partially the base element 7.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft Verfahren zur Herstellung eines TemperatursensorsThe invention relates to methods for producing a temperature sensor
Für Temperatursensoren gibt es eine Vielzahl technischer Anwendungen, zum Beispiel im Automobilbau, der Kraftwerkstechnik, der Heiztechnik oder der Gebäudetechnik. Dabei müssen die Temperatursensoren Temperaturen weit unter dem Gefrierpunkt genauso erfassen, wie hohe Temperaturen von über 1000 °C.For temperature sensors, there are a large number of technical applications, for example in the automotive industry, power plant technology, heating technology or building technology. The temperature sensors must detect temperatures well below freezing as well as high temperatures of over 1000 ° C.
Als Sensorelemente werden in der Regel elektronische Sensorelemente, wie zum Beispiel NTC's oder PTC's eingesetzt. Diese elektronischen Sensorelemente sind relativ empfindlich gegenüber äußeren Einflüssen, wie zum Beispiel chemisch-reaktive Gase oder mechanische Anstöße. Daher werden die Temperatursensorelemente in der Regel verkapselt und somit vor den äußeren Einflüssen geschützt. Die Verkapselung bewirkt jedoch einen verzögerten Übergang der zu messenden Temperatur auf das Sensorelement. Daher ist es üblich, den Raum zwischen dem elektronischen Sensorelement und beispielsweise einer darüber angeordneten Schutzkappe mit einem thermisch gut leitenden Material auszufüllen. Hierzu werden häufig keramische Pulver verwendet, die in die Schutzkappe eingefüllt werden und eine pulverförmige thermisch gut leitende Zwischenschicht bilden. Das Einfüllen solcher Pulver in die Schutzkappe eines Temperatursensors erweist sich regelmäßig als relativ schwieriger Prozess, bei dem es zu gasförmigen Einschlüssen kommen kann, die einer guten thermischen Leitung entgegenwirken.As sensor elements usually electronic sensor elements, such as NTC's or PTC's are used. These electronic sensor elements are relatively sensitive to external influences, such as chemically reactive gases or mechanical impulses. Therefore, the temperature sensor elements are usually encapsulated and thus protected from external influences. However, the encapsulation causes a delayed transition of the temperature to be measured on the sensor element. Therefore, it is customary to fill the space between the electronic sensor element and, for example, a protective cap arranged above it with a material that is highly thermally conductive. For this purpose, ceramic powders are often used, which are filled into the protective cap and form a powdery thermally highly conductive intermediate layer. The introduction of such powders in the protective cap of a temperature sensor proves to be a relatively difficult process, in which it can lead to gaseous inclusions, which counteract a good thermal conductivity.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Temperatursensors anzugeben, bei dem kostengünstig und aufwandsarm eine gute thermische Verbindung zwischen dem Sensorelement und dem zu messenden Medium hergestellt wird.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for producing a temperature sensor, in which a good thermal connection between the sensor element and the medium to be measured is produced inexpensively and with little effort.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by a method having the features of
Durch das Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Temperatursensors mit folgenden Verfahrensschritten:
- Einlegen eines auf einem Basiselement montierten Temperatursensorelementes in ein Formgebungswerkzeug,
- Einfüllen eines mineralischen Pulvers in das Formgebungswerkzeug,
- Formgebung des mineralischen Pulvers durch Verpressen des mineralischen Pulvers mit einem Stempel, wobei das mineralische Pulver verfestigt wird,
- Entfernen des Temperatursensorelementes mit dem verfestigten mineralischen Pulver aus dem Formgebungswerkzeug,
- Aufsetzen einer Schutzkappe auf das verfestigten mineralische Pulver,
- erneute Formgebung des mineralischen Pulvers durch Anpressen der Schutzkappe an das mineralische Pulver,
- Verbinden des Basiselementes mit der Schutzkappe
- Inserting a temperature sensor element mounted on a base element into a forming tool,
- Filling a mineral powder into the forming tool,
- Shaping the mineral powder by compressing the mineral powder with a stamp, whereby the mineral powder is solidified,
- Removing the temperature sensor element with the solidified mineral powder from the forming tool,
- Placing a protective cap on the solidified mineral powder,
- remodeling the mineral powder by pressing the protective cap against the mineral powder,
- Connecting the base element with the protective cap
Bei einer Weiterbildung wird der Formkörper aus dem mineralischen Pulver, nach der Formgebung des mineralischen Pulvers durch Verpressen des mineralischen Pulvers mit einem Stempel, gesintert. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der gesinterte Körper aus dem mineralischen Pulver völlig eigenstabil ist und problemlos mit der Schutzkappe überzogen werden kann.In a further development, the shaped body is sintered from the mineral powder, after the shaping of the mineral powder by pressing the mineral powder with a stamp. This has the advantage that the sintered body from the mineral powder is completely inherently stable and can be easily coated with the protective cap.
Es ist auch denkbar auf den gesinterten Körper aus dem mineralischen Pulver eine Schutzkappe durch versprühen oder verdampfen eines entsprechenden Materials zu erzeugen. Dabei kann zum Beispiel ein temperaturbeständiger Lack oder Kunststoff auf den gesinterten Körper aus dem mineralischen Pulver aufgesprüht werden oder ein Metall kann auf diesen Körper aufgedampft werden. Das versprühte oder verdampfte Material sollte dabei vorteilhafter Weise den gesinterten Körper aus dem mineralischen Pulver und teilweise das Basiselement überdecken.It is also conceivable on the sintered body of the mineral powder to produce a protective cap by spraying or evaporating a corresponding material. In this case, for example, a temperature-resistant paint or plastic can be sprayed onto the sintered body of the mineral powder or a metal can be vapor-deposited on this body. The sprayed or vaporized material should advantageously cover the sintered body of the mineral powder and partially the base element.
Bei einer Weiterbildung erfolgt das Anpressen der Schutzkappe an das mineralische Pulver mit einem höheren Druck als das Verpressen des mineralischen Pulvers mit dem Stempel. Hierdurch können auch beim Anpressen der Schutzkappe an das mineralische Pulver noch eventuell vorhandene Gaseinschlüsse beseitigt werden und das mineralische Pulver kann vollständig der Form der Schutzkappe angepasst werden, wobei jegliche Materialtolleranzen automatisch ausgeglichen werdenIn a further development, the pressing of the protective cap to the mineral powder is carried out at a higher pressure than the pressing of the mineral powder with the stamp. In this way, even when pressing the cap to the mineral powder, any existing gas inclusions can be eliminated and the mineral powder can be completely adapted to the shape of the cap, with any material tolerances are automatically compensated
